AFFIRMATIVE ACTION/EQUAL OPPORTUNITY

t n e m e t a t S

Hibbing Community College is an Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity Institution. Consistent with college policy, everyone shall have equal access to educational programs, facilities, and employment without regard to race, religion, color, gender, national origin, ethnic heritage, handicap/disability, age, marital status, sexual orientation, status with regard to public assistance, or other factors irrelevant to participation in its programs. Hibbing Community College complies with all statutes and regulations relating to equal opportunity. The Minnesota State Colleges and Universities (MnSCU) Board realizes that discrimination, and the prejudice from which it results, is deeply ingrained within our culture. Concentration on the mere prevention of discrimination can result in the implementation of practices which provide only superficial equality. Such practices, while possibly within the letter of the law, do not enact the full intent of the federal and state legislation, presidential and gubernatorial executive orders, or the courts' interpretation of these mandates. It is therefore, the intent of MnSCU to organize and implement policies, procedures, practices and programs which aid in overcoming the effects of past discrimination in regard to all of the protected groups. MnSCU believes that affirmative action must occur not only in the employment phase of its operation, but also in its educational programs, since it is in this area that the system impacts the makeup of the labor force of the future. The system acknowledges that employment and educational outcomes are delicately entwined, and that the presence of both male and female role models of varying racial and ethnic backgrounds develops in students the multicultural attitudes and awareness which our laws intended to promote. It is, therefore, the intent of MnSCU that the system shall operate aggressively and affirmatively in implementing and maintaining programs which will promote genuine equal educational and employment attitudes and opportunities. Hibbing Community College is committed to providing access and does not discriminate against qualified students or employees with disabilities. For more information contact the Coordinator of Disabilities Services in the Academic Center, or call 218-262-6712 or 218-262-7294 TDD. Hibbing Community College appreciates our rich and diverse society and promotes an atmosphere of acceptance and respect. Harassment and discrimination will not be tolerated. For more information regarding harassment / discrimination contact the Associate Dean of Student Services and Title VI and Title IX Coordinator in the Student Services area or call 218-312-9800 or 218-262-7294 TDD. You may also contact the Director of Multicultural and Disability Services at 218-262-6712.

HISTORY OF THE COLLEGE

Hibbing Community College was established on July 1, 1996, through the consolidation of Hibbing Community College and Range Technical College-Hibbing. Governed by the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities System, HCC is a public twoyear, comprehensive community and technical college. Hibbing was one of the first cities in the nation to expand educational opportunities by opening a two-year college in 1916. Thus, Hibbing Community College is one of the countrys oldest two-year colleges. Over time, Hibbing Community College has evolved, changed, merged, moved and grown. Eleven students attended the first and only course offered in 1916 at Hibbing Junior College -- later known as Hibbing State Junior College and then as Hibbing Community College. Campus locations changed three times -- from North Hibbing, to the west wing of Hibbing High School and finally to its current location. The Hibbing Area Vocational Technical Institute was established in 1962. It fulfilled a need to provide post-secondary vocational opportunities for high school graduates and miners impacted by the boom and bust cycles on the Iron Range. The institution was renamed Hibbing Area Vocational Technical Institute in 1987 and upon merger with its Eveleth sister campus in 1992 was renamed to form Range Technical College. Merger of Hibbing Community College and Range Technical College resulted in campus buildings spread across nearly onethird of a mile. The colleges co-location project, completed in 2001, resulted in the building of a new addition to the campus to house disciplines once housed at the Range Technical College locations. The new unified campus better supports HCCs educational mission and enriches the lives of all who study and work here. The new facility is truly a campus for the 21st century. In 2004, Hibbing Community College joined the Northeast Minnesota Higher Education District (NHED), a group of two-year technical, community and consolidated colleges in Minnesotas Arrowhead region, including Itasca Community College in Grand Rapids ; Mesabi Range Community and Technical College in Virginia; Rainy River Community College in International Falls; and Vermilion Community College located in Ely. Joined together under one President and governance structure, HCC now, more than ever, effectively serves the life-long learning needs of the people of this region.

HCC PROCEDURE FOR IDENTIFICATION AND ASSESSMENT OF LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENCY (LEP) STUDENTS
Hibbing Community College requires all students to complete a student assessment that includes basic measures of reading comprehension and mathematics.

Limited English Proficiency (LEP) students are identified through the assessment process or by self-identification. a. Students scoring below the developmental course placement level on reading or writing assessments meet with a counselor / advisor to discuss possible reasons, prerequisites, alternatives, and resources / support services available. b. Students may self-identify as LEP through the questions accompanying the assessment or directly to a counselor / advisor. An LEP advisor meets with all students identified as LEP , regardless of assessment scores, to ensure students are aware of community and college resources and assessments available (i.e., English as a Second Language (ESL) classes through the Arrowhead Equal Opportunity Agency, literacy centers in the area, HCC learning and resource centers, developmental courses, peer tutors, prerequisites, etc.) The LEP advisor monitors students progress. LEP students meet at least twice per semester with the LEP advisor to assess progress and review academic planning. Additional appointments may be required during the semester. Students are directed by their advisor to appropriate developmental courses in Reading, Basic English, Study Skills or ESL classes. Instructors complete intervention forms during the semester for students having difficulty in their coursework.

ACADEMIC FORGIVENESS POLICY

PHILOSOPHY
Students often drop out of College after a semester or more of poor academic performance. Upon attempting to resume their education at a later date, their previous academic performance hinders admission to programs, application for scholarships, and overall grade point average. Academic forgiveness seeks to respond to students who want an opportunity to start over with a clean slate.

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN AUDITING CLASSES...

You may choose to audit a class if you intend to take the class for personal enrichment purposes only. No credit is given for audited classes and they do not count toward a degree; however, you are still required to pay the tuition and fees for the course. Registration to audit a class must occur during the first five days of the semester. If the class is a workshop, the audit option must be declared at the time of registration or during the first class. An "AU" is used to denote an audited class on students' transcripts. Financial aid will not pay for audited classes and PSEO students may not elect to audit classes.

GENERAL INFORMATION
1. Academic forgiveness does not apply to course work from other post secondary institutions. 2. Academic forgiveness will only be applicable to HCC and does not impose any decision on any other institution the student may subsequently attend. 3. A student may only receive academic forgiveness once and is non-reversible. Students must apply and include specific terms for which forgiveness is sought. 4. Academic forgiveness does not apply to individual courses. 5. Academic forgiveness does not apply to financial aid eligibility.

Application for admission is always the first step in transferring. Fill out the application as early as you can prior to the deadline. Enclose the application fee if applicable. Request that official transcripts be sent from every institution you have attended. You might be required to provide a high school transcript or GED test scores as well. Recheck to be certain you supplied the college or university with all the necessary paperwork. Most colleges make no decisions until all required documents are in your file. If you have heard nothing from your intended college of transfer after one month, call to check on the status of your application. After the college notifies you that you have been accepted for admission, your transcribed credits will be evaluated for transfer. A written evaluation should tell you which courses transfer and which do not. How your courses specifically meet degree requirements may not be decided until you arrive for orientation or have chosen a major. If you have questions about your evaluation, call the Admissions Office and ask to speak with a credit evaluator. Ask why judgments were made about specific courses. Many concerns can be cleared up if you understand why decisions were made. If not satisfied, you can appeal. See "Your Rights as a Transfer Student" below.

UNDERSTANDING HOW TRANSFER OF CREDIT WORKS

The receiving college or university decides what credits transfer and whether those credits meet its degree requirements. The accreditation of both your sending and your receiving institution can affect the transfer of credits you earn. Institutions accept credits from courses and programs like those they offer. They look for similarity in course goals, content, and level. "Like" transfers to "like". Not everything that transfers will help you graduate. Baccalaureate degree programs usually count credits in three categories: general education, major/minor courses and prerequisites, and electives. The key question is, "Will your credits fulfill requirements of the degree or program you choose?" If you change your career goal or major, you might not be able to complete all degree requirements within the usual number of graduation credits.

HCC shall accept for transfer vocational technical credits from technical colleges for those courses which are judged to be comparable or equivalent to courses offered at the college. Courses not determined to be current may transfer after departmental review.

TRANSFER CREDIT EVALUATION

Usually a student transferring from another college who is eligible for reentrance at that college will also be eligible for admission to Hibbing Community College. Courses with grades of A, B, C, and D will be considered from another institution for transfer. If the cumulative GPA in that institution is lower than 2.00, only the grades A, B, and C will be considered for transfer. The GPA from another institution is not used in computing the student's GPA at Hibbing Community College. Students transferring from another college should have their transcripts evaluated by the transfer specialist in order to determine their standing before registering for classes. HCC course equivalents at a number of colleges and universities are listed at [Link] under Transfer Resources. Lower division credits earned at a college or university accredited by a regional accrediting association will be accepted as equivalent courses for general education purposes or as electives as determined by the transfer specialist. Courses in which D grades are earned will be considered for transfer only if the student's over-all GPA is 2.00 or higher.

PRIOR LEARNING EXPERIENCE

Students may request that prior learning experience be substituted for selected courses through the test out procedure. This request must be made with the transfer specialist.

ADVANCED PLACEMENT
HCC will accept in transfer credits earned through the Advanced Placement program in which a minimum score has been achieved.

DEGREES, DIPLOMAS AND CERTIFICATES

Denitions

PROGRAM: A program is a cohesive pattern of credit courses and experiences leading to a degree, diploma, or certificate. Programs are designed to (1) prepare students for advanced study, (2) qualify students for an occupation or range of occupations, and (3) increase students knowledge and understanding in a specific area/discipline. Accomplishment of program objectives requires a set of structured learning experiences in which a student must demonstrate competencies in a wide range of skills and knowledge that constitute a major or are certified by a credential. CREDIT: A credit is the unit of measure normally associated
with specific courses and experiential learning activities. While credits are the units of measure utilized in this policy, their use is not intended to limit nor reduce opportunities to certify skills and competency attainment through alternative student outcome assessment approaches. The goal of education is the attainment of specific skills and knowledge. Creative approaches to the awarding of credit in response to demonstrated student skills attainment, above and beyond credit for prior learning and credit through examination programs, are both encouraged and desired.

MINNESOTA GENERAL EDUCATION TRANSFER CURRICULUM

The Minnesota General Education Transfer Curriculum is the result of a collaborative effort by all of the two-and four-year public colleges and universities in Minnesota to define a common philosophy toward general education. The goal of this effort is to help students transfer their work in general education. Completion of a defined transfer curriculum at one institution enables a student to receive credit for all lower-division general education upon admission to any other institution. Students who complete a general education transfer curriculum are certified in ten areas of competency by faculty at the sending institution. The Minnesota General Education Transfer Curriculum provides details about the competencies. The following are the ten areas of emphasis:

GOAL 1 WRITTEN AND ORAL COMMUNICATION

To develop writers and speakers who use the English language effectively and who read, write, speak and listen critically. As a base, all students should complete introductory communication requirements early in their collegiate studies. Writing competency is an ongoing process to be reinforced through writing-intensive courses and writing across the curriculum. Speaking and listening skills need reinforcement through multiple opportunities for interpersonal communication, public speaking, and discussion. Student competencies: Students will be able to Understand/demonstrate the writing and speaking processes through invention, organization, drafting, revision, editing and presentation. Participate effectively in groups with emphasis on listening, critical and reflective thinking, and responding. Locate, evaluate, and synthesize in a responsible manner material from diverse sources and points of view. Select appropriate communication choices for specific audiences. Construct logical and coherent arguments. Use authority, point-of-view, and individual voice and style in their writing and speaking. Employ syntax and usage appropriate to academic disciplines and the professional world.

GOAL 2 CRITICAL THINKING

To develop thinkers who are able to unify factual, creative, rational, and value-sensitive modes of thought. Critical thinking will be taught and used throughout the general education curriculum in order to develop students awareness of their own thinking and problem-solving procedures. To integrate new skills into their customary ways of thinking, students must be actively engaged in practicing thinking skills and applying them to openended problems. Student competencies: Students will be able to Gather factual information and apply it to a given problem in a manner that is relevant, clear, comprehensive, and conscious of possible bias in the information selected. Imagine and seek out a variety of possible goals, assumptions, interpretations, or perspectives which can give alternative meanings or solutions to given situations or problems. Analyze the logical connections among the facts, goals, and implicit assumptions relevant to a problem or claim; generate and evaluate implications that follow from them. Recognize and articulate the value assumptions which underlie and affect decisions, interpretations, analyses, and evaluations made by ourselves and others.

Communicate their experimental findings, analyses, and interpretations both orally and in writing. Evaluate societal issues from a natural science perspective, ask questions about the evidence presented, and make informed judgments about science-related topics and policies.

GOAL 4 MATHEMATICS/SYMBOLIC SYSTEMS

To increase students knowledge about mathematical and logical modes of thinking. This will enable students to appreciate the breadth of applications of mathematics, evaluate arguments, and detect fallacious reasoning. Students will learn to apply mathematics, logic, and/or statistics to help them make decisions in their lives and careers. Minnesota's public higher education systems have agreed that developmental mathematics includes the first three years of a high school mathematics sequence through intermediate algebra. Student competencies: Students will be able to Illustrate historical and contemporary applications of mathematics/logical systems. Clearly express mathematical/logical ideas in writing. Explain what constitutes a valid mathematical/logical argument (proof). Apply higher-order problem-solving and/or modeling strategies.

GOAL 3 NATURAL SCIENCES

As a basis for lifelong learning, students need to know the vocabulary of science and to realize that while a set of principles has been developed through the work of previous scientists, ongoing scientific inquiry and new knowledge will bring changes in some of the ways scientists view the world. By studying the problems that engage todays scientists, students learn to appreciate the importance of science in their lives and to understand the value of a scientific perspective. Students should be encouraged to study both the biological and physical sciences. Student competencies: Students will be able to Demonstrate understanding of scientific theories. Formulate and test hypotheses by performing laboratory, simulation, or field experiments in at least two of the natural science disciplines. One of these experimental components should develop, in greater depth, students laboratory experience in the collection of data, its statistical and graphical analysis, and an appreciation of its sources of error and uncertainty.

GOAL 5 HISTORY AND THE SOCIAL AND BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES

To increase students knowledge of how historians and social and behavioral scientists discover, describe, and explain the behaviors and interactions among individuals, groups, institutions, events, and ideas. Such knowledge will better equip students to understand themselves and the roles they play in addressing the issues facing humanity. Student competencies: Students will be able to Employ the methods and data that historians and social and behavioral scientists use to investigate the human condition. Examine social institutions and processes across a range of historical periods and cultures. Use and critique alternative explanatory systems or theories. Develop and communicate alternative explanations or solutions for contemporary social issues.

GRADING SYSTEM
The following policy applies to all students for each course in which they are registered: [Link] are five permanent passing grades: A (the highest grade), B, C, D, and P , one of which is assigned to students who have satisfactorily completed the course requirements. The grade of "P" indicates at least "C" quality work and shall be assigned only for courses in which the credits are earned by special examination. 2. A temporary grade of "I" may be assigned by the instructor when the course requirements are not completed. Students receiving an "I" must satisfactorily complete the course requirements the following semester in order to receive a permanent grade. Unsatisfactory completion will result in the automatic replacement of the temporary symbol "I" by the permanent symbol "F". 3. A permanent grade of "W" is assigned when a withdrawal statement, signed by the student, is submitted to the Records Office. The drop period for full-term courses shall be five (5) days from the start of fall, spring and summer terms. A class day shall be defined as any weekday in which the college is in full-operation and classes are in session (thus excluding holidays, breaks, Saturdays, Sundays, and inservice days) and is limited to the normal hours of operation as determined by the college. Students may withdraw (W) from a class until 75% of the semester is completed. The drop period for partial-term courses of more than three weeks in length shall be three (3) class days, including the first meeting date of the course. Partial-term courses are those that last longer than three weeks but do not last the entire length of the term. Students may withdraw (W) from a class until 75% of the class is completed. The drop period for short courses (less than three weeks in length) is prior to the second scheduled meeting time of the course. If the course lasts only one weekend, students must drop prior to the start of the course. Withdrawls (W) are not permitted for courses less than three (3) weeks in length. 4. A permanent grade of AU is assigned when students audit a course. Students registered for an audit have all the rights and privileges of students registering for credit in a course. The auditing students have the additional right to choose the class activities in which they will participate. 5 If you register for a class and stop attending without officially dropping or withdrawing in writing, email, or phone, you will be held responsible for payment and receive your earned grade for the classes. A grade of FN will be recorded for courses you stop attending without officially withdrawing.

TRANSFER PROGRAMS
Transfer programs are designed for students who wish to earn their Associate in Arts Degree at Hibbing Community College and then transfer to four-year colleges or professional schools. The programs consist of typical lower division requirements for a variety of major fields. Since lower division course requirements vary from one college to another, students must consult their counselors or advisors and the catalogs of the colleges or universities to which they plan to transfer.

Most four-year public colleges in Minnesota accept the Associate in Arts Degree as complete fulfillment of their liberal education distribution requirements. Each baccalaureate program has its own requirements. The classes listed below are a general guide to help you start planning. Transfer programs included here are the most popular. HCC counselors have transfer information on other programs not listed here.

Programs listed in the career programs section of the catalog are primarily for students who plan to prepare themselves for employment in a specialized occupation. Although the courses are designed as career programs, some of the courses will transfer to four-year colleges and universities should the students later decide to continue their education. Students should check with the college counselors on the transferability of specific courses in this section of the catalog.

Students majoring in career programs should follow the courses outlined in the specific programs in order to qualify for the positions for which the programs are preparing them.
